Function Description:
The Dynapac DRF25-70C is a caterpillar-driven paver finisher designed for laying various materials, including bituminous mixed material, roll-down or lean-mixed concrete, track-laying ballast, and unbound mineral aggregates for foundations. Its operation is facilitated by an automatic material handling system, independent travel drives, and a clearly structured operating panel with controls.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions: The machine has a length of 6400 mm, a width of 3400 mm, and a height of 3900 mm. The minimum inlet height at the center is 555 mm, and at the outside, it is 560 mm. The hopper width, when open, is 3610 mm.
- Weights: The paver finisher without a screed weighs approximately 14.5 t. With a DRV51TVE screed, it weighs approximately 18.2 t, and with a DRV60TVE screed, it weighs approximately 18.5 t.
